Overview
Hydrogels and biopolymers are advancing food packaging, edible coatings, and novel textures.
These materials enhance shelf life, reduce plastic waste, and enable smart packaging that responds to humidity or spoilage indicators.
Why Swelling and Degradation Matter:
Materials must protect food freshness by managing moisture transfer while remaining safe, edible, or biodegradable.
Mechanical swelling and breakdown control are key to ensuring product quality and consumer safety.
Example Applications:
Edible coatings for fruits and vegetables
Biodegradable packaging for perishables
Hydrogel-structured foods for texture innovation
How GelTech Helps:
Our technology allows food scientists to measure swelling kinetics, moisture barrier performance, and degradation timelines under real-world storage conditions (humidity, temperature, acidity).
